✨ History & Origin of the Tikar People ✨

According to historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, and oral tradition, the Tikar people originated from northeastern Cameroon, around the Adamawa and Lake Chad regions (present-day Adamawa, North, and Far North).

Their migration southwards and westwards intensified in the 18th and 19th centuries due to Fulani slave raids from Northern Nigeria. However, research shows that Tikar migrations had been happening for centuries before these invasions. The Fulani raids only accelerated movements that eventually brought the Tikar to their present-day locations in the Western Grassfields (Bamenda Plateau), Eastern Grassfields (Foumban), and the Tikar Plain of Bankim (Upper Mbam).

When they arrived in the Grassfields, the Tikar met other populations who had already settled there. Their presence, like that of later arrivals, caused further population shifts. Pre-colonial Cameroon, much like the rest of Africa, was marked by frequent population movements—not always because of conflict, but often in search of land, power, or opportunity.

In the Bamenda Grassfields, many groups proudly trace their origins to the Tikar, including:
Nso, Kom, Bum, Bafut, Oku, Mbiame, Wiya, Tang, War, Mbot, Mbem, Fungom, Weh, Mmen, Bamunka, Babungo, Bamessi, Bamessing, Bambalang, Bamali, Bafanji, Baba (Papiakum), Bangola, Big Babanki, Babanki Tungo, Nkwen, Bambili, and Bambui.

Migration often took place in waves, led by princes from the Rifum dynasty who sought to establish their own kingdoms. Oral traditions and historical accounts describe how, about 300 years ago, pressure from the north and internal struggles pushed Tikar groups to split into smaller bands. Led by the sons of Tikar rulers, they moved west and southwest, founding new settlements and kingdoms.

Among the notable results of this migration were the kingdoms of Bum, Bafut, Kom, and Nso, while others established smaller independent villages across the Bamenda Grassfields.

The Tikar story is one of resilience, migration, and the creation of powerful dynasties that continue to shape the cultural identity of Cameroon today.

✨ The Tikar People ✨

The Tikar (also known as Tikari, Tige, Tigar, Tigre, or Tikali) are a Central African people found mainly in the Bamenda Grassfields of Cameroon. Renowned as artisans, artists, and storytellers, they carry a rich cultural legacy.

According to oral tradition, the Tikar trace their origins back to the Nile River Valley in present-day Sudan before settling in Cameroon.

The term “Tikar” is both a name for a single ethnic group on the Tikar Plain in the Adamawa Region and a broader umbrella used for several related groups across Cameroon. In the Northwest, the Tikar are closely linked to the Bamileke people through the Bantu-Cameroon-Bamileke cluster.

Many communities in the Northwest Region proudly trace their roots to Tikar ancestry, including:
Nso, Kom, Bum, Bafut, Oku, Mbiame, Wiya, Tang, War, Mbot, Mbem, Fungom, Weh, Mmen, Bamunka, Babungo, Bamessi, Bamessing, Bambalang, Bamali, Bafanji, Baba (Papiakum), Bangola, Big Babanki, Babanki Tungo, Nkwen, Bambili, and Bambui.

The Tikar heritage continues to be a powerful force, shaping the identity and traditions of many communities in Cameroon today.

The Mourning of the late Foh George Ngwashi II of Akum and the Stoning and Coronation of Foh Eugene Chinelum Ngwashi I of Akum on December 22, 2024 👑

👑 The Akum Dynasty 👑

Unlike some sources that wrongly claim Akum has seen the reign of twelve chiefs, careful research confirms that since settling on their present site, only nine Fons have ruled Akum. The current ruler, H.R.H. Eugene Chinelum Ngwashi I, enthroned on December 22, 2024, is the ninth Fon to ascend the throne, though history records that two rulers were dethroned along the way.

Here is the authentic list of Akum rulers, from the present back to the very first:

9️⃣ Foh Eugene Chinelum Ngwashi I
8️⃣ Foh George Ngwashi Ndikum II (Enthroned January 5, 1958)
7️⃣ Foh Ndikum I
6️⃣ Foh Cheboh
5️⃣ Foh Chinelum
4️⃣ Forn Nchangkwe – Dethroned by the people for attempting to exile the Benbelek. He fled to a dreaded place (nebugh). Later, when the village struggled, he was recalled and given the title Tabi (meaning “Father of the Compound”). He lived and was buried as a noble.
3️⃣ Foh Taniform
2️⃣ Foh Atanga Fon – Dethroned by Taniform and reduced to the status of a noble, buried as such.
1️⃣ Foh Atanga Nkeh Nchang – Nicknamed Atanga Mbum because of his long life. He lived so long that people believed he was infested by weevils.

Evidence from palace cemeteries supports this history: the graves of five rulers remain visible. The grave of Atanga Nkeh Nchang is at Ntinelah, while Taniform, Cheboh, and Chinelum are buried together at another site. The graves of Ndikum I and Ndikum II are at the present palace. Importantly, no Akum Fon has ever been buried outside the village.

So where did the number twelve come from? Likely confusion with nicknames. For example:

Taniform was also called Azafor (“taking over from another Fon”) and Foh Fumugom (“a Fon with a palace roofed with banana leaves”), titles that made some mistake him for three different rulers.

Atanga Muchangne was nicknamed Atanga Lab, though his real name was Sufor. Again, this led to double-counting.

Even if we counted every leader from the earliest days, the number twelve would still be too small. What matters is that this authentic lineage of nine rulers stands as the most reliable record, preserved through oral tradition, graves, and collective memory.

Today, by retelling and preserving this history, we ensure that the legacy of Akum is promoted, maintained, and shared with future generations and the wider world 🌍✨

The History of Bagangu (Akum) People 👏🏻

Little is known with certainty about the early history of Bagangu (today Akum). Attempts have been made to verify, but the truth often seems to shift within them. It is widely believed that the Bagangu people came from Widikum. However, research is still ongoing to establish the exact relationship between the Widikum of today and the Akum, who are believed to have once been brothers and sisters. Because the stories differ in some details, this account can only be considered a sketch, though it is supported by certain corroborative facts.

One strong piece of evidence is the presence of ritual ornaments that have been preserved by the descendants of the early nobles of Akum. These objects are still used when the need arises, proving continuity and respect for the throne, its customs, and traditions. It also reflects the deeper truth that African traditional art remains the foundation on which tribal cultures rest their spiritual identity.

This brief account aims to awaken curiosity among Akum people and researchers to continue studying, recording, and preserving the social and cultural life of the community. Once interest grows, more detailed studies and books will naturally follow. In this way, the responsibility of protecting Akum history belongs to every willing learner, from the youngest to the most mature.

✨️The Journey from Tadkon to the Present Site

History suggests that the late 18th century was a turning point both in Europe and Africa. While Europe was reshaped by the French Revolution of 1789, Africa witnessed the abolition of the slave trade but also persistent inter-tribal wars. It is not clear why the Bagangu left Widikum and migrated northward, but tradition tells us that the early Mbakum people valued freedom, unity, and sincerity. Their migration was not just a historical event, but a testimony to their courage and greatness.

The founding fathers of Akum were people of oneness, love, and bravery. They were not mere rebels, as some might suggest, but men and women motivated by the spirit of freedom and independence. They believed in something greater than themselves, and their legacy continues to inspire Akum today.

When the Bagangu left Widikum for Tadkon, they traveled together as one large family (a phratry). But disaster struck when they reached an unfamiliar river. A great storm made the river impossible to cross. Those ahead braved the storm and managed to cross, while those behind were stranded on the opposite bank.

Those who succeeded in crossing continued their journey northward into the Grassfields. They were five in number:
• Atanga Nkeh Nchang
• Wakab
• Ngwashi Ateh Neh
• Atah Taniform
• Achor Ngwa
These five men became the founders of Bagangu (Akum). Those left behind later moved eastward and founded what is today Mendum I and II.

✨️ Leadership after the Separation

Among the five who crossed, Atanga Nkeh Nchang was chosen as leader. Along the way, his brother Wakab died. In keeping with tradition, Atanga inherited Wakab’s most important possessions: a bag and a cup. When they finally settled on the present site of Akum, Atanga named his son after his late brother and passed down these items to him.

Other related groups, such as Lower and Upper Ngemba, also came from Widikum through Tadkon. They first settled in Kapchor and Muchor, but due to tribal wars they later moved to Bambui, then Ntinelah, and eventually to Babadjou. When their Fon died there, they refused to bury him in a foreign land. They disguised a tomb with banana stems and carried the body back to Ntinelah for a proper burial. From there, the Atanga family moved to Nsongmaula, the Fon to Ntohmbing, and finally to the present site where the Akum Palace now stands.

This corrects the common mistake in other accounts that only four men crossed the river before the storm. In truth, there were five founders.
